CHAPTER 76: CHAPTER 76: WHAT KIND OF WOMAN DOES ZANE THORNE LIKE? SOMEONE LIKE YOU!

Theo was practically about to explode; Mr. Thorne actually making breakfast? He couldn’t possibly imagine the big brother he had admired for years wearing a pink apron while preparing breakfast for his wife in the kitchen.

How indifferent Zane used to be towards women, and now how earnest he is towards Natalie!

What nonsense about matchmaking! He didn’t believe it one bit; Mr. Thorne is definitely into Natalie!

With this thought, Theo saw Natalie again and reacted as if he’d seen a ghost, hurriedly moving several seats away, almost falling off the bench.

What a terrifying woman, being able to get Mr. Thorne to cook.

Natalie: ...

"Sister-in-law, just act like you didn’t hear what I just said. You heard nothing—yes, exactly!"

If the couple ends up arguing over past relationships, wouldn’t that make him the culprit? Mr. Thorne would definitely come after him.

He still remembered the miserable time when Zane reprimanded him for causing trouble.

Unforgettable.

Natalie couldn’t understand why Theo was so flustered. Even if he was afraid of Zane, why did he have to view her as a wolf?

With that in mind, Natalie moved one seat closer to him.

"I have a question for you."

Theo immediately jumped up from the bench.

"Sister-in-law, just ask like this."

If Zane truly cherished Natalie, it was better to keep some distance. With Zane’s temperament, he wouldn’t like others getting too close to his person.

Not even brothers.

Natalie: .....

"My question is quite personal. Are you sure you want to ask like this?"

With that, Natalie gave Theo a look, signaling him to look at Zane.

Theo: ....

Wasn’t sister-in-law his fan? Why put him in such a difficult position?

In the end, Theo acquiesced, maintaining a distance from Natalie but ensuring he could hear her question clearly.

But after hearing Natalie’s question, Theo immediately regretted it.

Natalie asked.

"What is Zane’s ex-girlfriend doing now?"

Although during that relationship, Zane acted nothing like a boyfriend, and the reason he agreed to date the girl might even have been absurd.

Even so, a man like Zane, even being together for absurd reasons, the girl must have had some exceptional qualities.

And Natalie guessed right; there was indeed something exceptional about her.

"It’s said that over the years, she’s been participating in various motorcycle races abroad."

Natalie: ...

Turns out she’s into bikes too, no wonder Zane agreed to be with her.

So, Zane would always be interested in anything related to bikes?

Natalie looked down, resting her chin on her hand, and furrowed her brow in thought.

Her subpar driving skills probably wouldn’t catch Zane’s eye at all.

Theo was initially very hesitant to tell Natalie about this, and seeing her like this made his heart tremble.

"Sister-in-law, you really don’t need to worry about Shannon; Mr. Thorne never had her on his mind."

Shannon could be considered a proud woman, giving up a lot, even her dignity, for Zane, always following his lead, until she realized his increasing indifference and woke up.

Feelings can’t be forced.

Hearing Theo’s words, Natalie’s eyes sparkled.

Shannon.

It’s a lovely name. Just hearing it, she seemed to picture a woman on a motorcycle, flowing long hair, exuding a heroic aura.

Natalie finally realized her silence was putting psychological pressure on Theo.

"I’m not worried, just curious about what kind of women Zane likes."

"Someone like you."

Theo blurted out.

Natalie raised an eyebrow.

"Like me? What am I like? How do you know?"

Theo: ...

"Sister-in-law, please spare me. I wish you and Zane a harmonious and beautiful life, and may he make breakfast for you every day."

Natalie was amused by Theo and finally stopped pressing him about Zane’s past.

"Theo, don’t look at me like that. What’s so scary about me? I’m your fan."

Theo: ...

"Sister-in-law, I’ll help out, I’ll help out, you take a good rest."

With that, Theo quickly retreated from the lounge area.

Felix saw Theo’s appearance and knew for sure it was Natalie’s doing.

"What did she say?"

Zane also took a moment to glance over.

"Nothing much."

Once Zane shifted his focus back to the roast lamb, Theo whispered to Felix.

"Bro, let’s not provoke sister-in-law in the future."

"You’re just realizing this now?"

That day during the race, on the mountaintop, he had already noticed.

The mountaintop was sunny, but also windy, and even sitting quietly there was a bit chilly, so Natalie simply squeezed next to Zane.

Not helping, just watching like that.

When Zane applied seasoning, it seemed haphazard, without any order, as he pleased.

Natalie didn’t understand cooking, she remained puzzled.

"Can this really taste good?"

Zane found a moment to glance at her, seeing her nose turned red from the wind, and frowned.

"If you’re cold, go inside the tent."

"That’s no fun, I just want to watch you."

"Is it nice to watch?"

Natalie replied shamelessly.

"Yes."

Zane’s eyes filled with laughter; he always enjoyed Natalie’s compliments, regardless of how genuine they were.

"There are clothes in the tent, go put on a jacket."

Natalie still didn’t want to move.

Zane’s hands were busy, so he had to stop.

"I’m right here, could I run away, or..."

Zane suddenly leaned in close to Natalie, eyes teasing.

"Is my charm so great you can’t look away or move?"

Natalie: ...

He was so close she could even count Zane’s eyelashes and naturally saw the teasing and pride in his eyes.

"Pah, narcissist."

With that, Natalie blushed slightly and turned to the tent.

Watching her figure, Zane narrowed his eyes and smiled.

He liked seeing Natalie blush.

Meanwhile, standing aside and witnessing the whole process, James didn’t look pleased.

He first stared at the tent Natalie entered for a long time, then looked at Zane.

He never expected that one day he would be fed dog food by his own sister. This feeling was akin to his family’s prized vegetable patch being ravaged by a pig.

Even if Zane was of his own choosing, even if Zane was an excellent person.

James took a deep breath and walked to the side, taking out his phone, for the first time disregarding the time difference and calling Tanya across the ocean.

He urgently needed some comfort from his dear wife.

Once Natalie put on a jacket and came out, she still lingered around Zane, occasionally being playful. When her hands were stained with seasoning and she couldn’t find a napkin, she simply wiped it on Zane’s hands.

Zane only frowned but didn’t reprimand her. This tacit approval encouraged Natalie to become even more outrageous.

For a moment, what was initially a shared preparation area split into two distinct zones.

Natalie and Zane’s sweet and intimate zone, and Phoebe and the others’ dog food collection zone.
